    For most people the holiday season is a time of joy. It's always time to make memories as a family. For me, it is a time of loneliness-for I have been away from my family in Iran while studying in the United State.

A tie-clasp（领带夹）I still wear reminds me repeatedly of the unforgettable Christmas three years ago. All my classmates had excitedly looked forward to the holiday. I had no money for the vacation. My check（支票） from home had not arrived.

One day I walked to pick up my mail at the International Students Office. The important check still had not arrived. Maria, a Mexican-American student working in the department, must have seen my disappointment. She invited me to spend Christmas Eve with her family. I accepted gladly.

Maria's family was not rich. They lived in a small house. Maria introduced me to her parents, her aunt and her sister, who welcomed me warmly. Maria's father could only speak Spanish, so he talked to me while Maria's sister acted as an interpreter. The kind look in his eyes and his relaxed behavior made me feel right at home.

The dinner was well prepared. Maria's aunt ate while standing at a corner of the small, ole table. I felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that I was taking her place, but her gesture（手势）expressed the. hospitality（好客）.

After dinner, Maria handed a small box to me. Inside I found the tie-clasp I still use to this day.

It was an unforgettable evening of good friendship during a hard and lonely period of my life.
